CURRENT EVENTS 2011
Just Because... is launched Since this there have been many many more . Scroll down to see what's on and where
The first event was back in August 2005 when Tracey aided and abetted by
Anne, organised a day of workshops and an evening of music and dance in
Manchester. Local teachers gave their time for free to teach workshops and
Anne's students sold refreshments. The workshops were a sell out and the
money raised for the day was beyond their expectations. The evenings meal
and music event was held at Ferdowsi. Tracey negotiated a good price for
the meal and room hire and persuaded the Nile Band to entertain us for free.
Anne organised an auction, all items donated for free, and, assisted by
Shirley and some of her students raised £2000 by the end of the evening.
As well as the Nile Band playing Kharis and Jamila performed solos and the
evening was a great success. Just Because was off and running raising £3500
at our very first event.
